5 stars - Artys Party are Highly Recommended
Fabrice D booked Artys Party for their Wedding in Suffolk • August 2023
“We had Artys Party as the main music for our wedding reception and wanted to have a good old Irish session with great music and all the classics, and the guys didn't disappoint! The sound quality was outstanding, the music was brilliant and they even accommodated a couple of Irish dancers with a great jig! Patrick and the band were absolute stars and their professionalism shone through, but with no airs and graces. We wanted to have fun and they provided a fun filled evening with great music and great entertainment. If you love Irish music and I mean real Irish music (not some of the rubbish you'd normally hear) then hire this group. I'll definitely keep them in mind if I need an Irish group for another event! Go raibh míle maith agat!!”
Wonderful music; delightful musicians!
5 stars - Lord Strange are Highly Recommended
Anna booked Lord Strange for their event in Dorset • August 2023
“Tom and the rest of the band were just lovely. I booked Lord Strange for my husband's post-funeral celebration party and wanted upbeat music. Tom discussed what I wanted with me beforehand and once he knew my views, I left it to him to decide the set list and I wasn't disappointed. My guests loved them too..they had a great time singing and dancing along.”
Absolutely top notch from start to finish
5 stars - The Irish Ceilidh Band are Highly Recommended
Douglas M booked The Irish Ceilidh Band for their event in Hampshire • July 2023
“I spoke with Patrick a few weeks before the event. We talked for a while about song requests and the type of event, the venue and the type of event it was. The band all got to the venue early to set up and sound check. They played all the songs we requested and the quality of the music and the performance was faultless. The band truly are very talented musicians who love what they do and this shows in their performance. They engaged with the crowd and really made our celebration entertaining and fun. We loved it and would book them again tomorrow if we had any energy left from all the dancing. Real first-class act”
